X and y are books
x is fiction
y=nonifiction

x+y=36

x=12+y

12+y+y=26
2y+12=26
minus 12
2y=14
divide 2
y=7

sub
x=12+y
x=12+7
x=19

nonfiction=7

Adhy, Ben and Clayson shared a bag of chocolates. The ratio of Adhy's share to Ben's share is 3:4 while

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: 33

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The ratio of Adhy's to Ben's is 3:4 so let

Adhy = 3x

Ben = 4x

Since Ben = Adhy + 9

then 4x = 3x + 9

--> x = 9

So, Adhy = 3x = 3(9) = 27

Ben = 4x = 4(9) = 36

*************************************************************

The ratio of Ben's to Clayson's is 3:5

How do we get Ben's ratio of 3 equal to 36? <em>by multiplying by 12</em>

Ben : Clayson

<u>3 x 12</u> <u>5 x 12</u>

36 60

So, Clayson = 60

***********************************************************

The difference between Adhy and Clayson is:

Clayson - Adhy

60 - 27 = 33

Please help me!!!!! i need full answer.

salantis [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sum/ difference → product formula

cos x - cos y = - 2sin( $\frac{x+y}{2}$ )sin ( $\frac{x-y}{2}$ )

sin x - sin y = 2cos ( $\frac{x+y}{2}$ )sin ( $\frac{x-y}{2}$ )

Given

(cosA - cosB)² + (sinA - sinB )²

= [ - 2sin( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ )sin( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ ) ]² + [ 2cos( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ )sin( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ ) ]²

= 4sin² ( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ )sin² ( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ ) + 4cos² ( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ )sin² ( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ )

= 4sin² ( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ )[ sin² ( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ ) + cos² ( $\frac{A+B}{2}$ ) ← sin²x + cos²x = 1

= 4sin² ( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ ) × 1

= 4sin² ( $\frac{A-B}{2}$ ) = right side ⇒ proven

5^(2x-1)+5^(x+1)=250<br> how do you solve?<br> thank you

zepelin [54]

Answer:

<em>x = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Equations</u>

Solve:

$5^{2x-1}+5^{x+1}=250$

Separate each exponential:

$5^{2x}5^{-1}+5^{x}5^{1}=250$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{5^{2x}}{5}+5^{x}5=250$

Multiplying by 5:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x=1250$

Rearranging:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Recall that:

$5^{2x}=(5^{x})^2$

$(5^{x})^2+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Calling

$y=5^{x}:$

$y^2+25y-1250=0$

Factoring:

$(y-25)(y+50)=0$

There are two possible solutions:

y=25

y=-50

Since

$y=5^{x}$

y cannot be negative, thus:

$5^{x}=25=5^2$

The solution is:

x = 2
